2018 DODGE GRAND CARAVAN Complaints

My 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan will not turn the starter when I turn the key intermittently, especially when the temperature is hot. The key has to be turned on and off many times before the starter engages and the engine starts. The engine will turn off while driving the van on the highway which causes the power steering to go away. The van must then be shifted to neutral and cruise to a stop so it can be re-started after many tries as explained above. This is very dangerous because if you are on interstate in fast lane with cars behind you, it causes vehicle to slow down because engine stops without brake lights being engaged that could cause rear end collision and makes steering very difficult. This usually happens at least three times in succession before going away for this individual trip. There is no warning when the engine cuts off while driving. I have taken the vehicle to Dodge for inspection and they told me it was the TIPM, but would not replace it without charge. My research on the internet seems to imply it could also be an ignition control module problem.

The contact owns a 2018 Dodge Grand Caravan. The contact stated that while driving approximately 50 MPH, the vehicle started shuddering. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contacted stated that he disconnected and reconnected the battery cable. The vehicle was taken to an unknown dealer, where it was diagnosed that the cylinder head needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic, where it was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 112,000.

The drivers side passenger sliding door won't unlock or open. It is stuck at the lock position and you can not manually or using the van system unlock and open the door.

We are having power sliding door issues. The doors are trying to stay in the locked position causing you to not be able to get passengers and kids out of the car safely.

Sliding door lock actuator not working, sliding doors stuck in lock position, can trap children/passengers in the back of the vehicle. Huge safety issue, has happened with previous models, I see a lot of complaints on here with the same issue. Stop putting our kids in danger. Fix the lock actuators on the sliding doors!

Door locks fail When the door lock fails it locks the door without a way to manually unlock doors. This is on sliding doors. Children can lock themselves in the car and suffocate. remote nor manual door lock will operate. If lock fails in unlock position door may be opened while in motion I have not repaired the issue yet.

The transmission spontaneously went out and vehicle stopped accelerating on the highway. There were no indicators or warning signs that the transmission was bad or going out. The vehicle only has 90k miles and we need a brand new transmission

Received a p0302 code from trying to remote start the car have changed the spark plug and ignition coil for cylinder 2 and the code is still there.

Driver sliding door won't open, completely jam unsafe for anyone who needs to get out of the vehicle or parents like myself trying to get our children in and out can only use the other sliding door until that one jams and locks in all rear passengers to their deaths in case of an accident this should be recalled and buyers should not be charged for a faulty and really unsafe part, no way of opening the door manually inside or out and no way of opening it sliding on its own

While driving the passenger headrest popped open hitting passenger in the head. Tried resetting the headrest but it would not latch.
